Exterior

The 2026 Toyota Corolla features a low, wide stance that signals its athletic intent. Its sleek front fascia is highlighted by standard LED headlights and daytime running lights, while the sportier trims receive a gloss-black honeycomb mesh grille and 18-inch graphite-colored alloy wheels.
